Some people, even Freepers, have their heads firmly planted in their, ahem, the ground. De Nile isn’t just a river in Egypt...

“US Citizens in Laredo called 911 after hearing gunfire and explosions just across the border. Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza deflected the concerns of citizens with what I see as utter contempt. He said there was no spillover violence onto the US side and “We were getting reports from people who live on the river’s edge that they could hear gunfire and explosions from the Mexico side,” Baeza said, “We didn’t have any incidents on the American side. It’s hard for people to understand who don’t live here ... They’re not Vikings, they’re not going to invade us, it doesn’t work that way.”
